摘要:
Copolymer of 99 to 85 mol percent of maleic anhydride with from 1 to 15 mol percent of acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, styrene, or mixtures thereof, and hydrolyzed analogous copolymers of maleic acid or maleic salts are highly effective chelating agents. They are made by slowly combining a solution containing the acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, or styrene and a large amount of free radical initiator with a solution containing the maleic anhydride.
摘要:
Abrasion resistant coatings for use on plastic articles which coatings are the cured reaction products formed of (1) a polyfunctional biuret formed of an aliphatic diisocyanate and water and (2) a polyethylene glycol. Plastic articles include acrylic, cellulose propionate and polycarbonate substrates. Preferred embodiments of the invention are those containing little or no solvent.

A PROCESS FOR FORMING HIGHLY WETTABLE AND REWETTABLE POLYSULFONE MEMBRANE USEFUL IN FUEL CELLS AS MOISTURE VAPOR TRANSMISSIVE, YET HYDROGEN RETENTIVE, BARRIERS THE PROCESS COMPRISES THE STEPS OF SUBJECTING A MICROPOROUS MEMBRANE TO TREATMENT IN AN ACIDIC BATH TO ENABLE THE PORES TO IMIBIBE WATER MORE READILY AND MORE COMPLETELY. IN THE PREFERRED AN MOST ADVANTAGEOUS ASPECTS OF THE INVENTION, AN ANISOTROPIC POLYSULFON MEMBRANE HAVING A MICROPOROUS BARRIER LAYER ABOUT 0.1 TO 5 MICRONS THICK WHICH LAYER COMPRISES ABOUT 1% TO VOLUME OF PORES HAVING AN AVERAGE DIAMETER OF FROM 20 TO 100 ANGSTROMS IS TREATED WITH THE ACID TO FORM A NOVEL, HIGH PERFORMANCE MEMBRANE.
摘要:
ANISOTROPIC POLYMER PARTICLES COMPRISING A THIN SKIN WHICH FORMS EITHER A MIXROPOROUS OR DIFFUSIVE BARRIER LAYER AND A SUBSTANTIALLY HOLLOW INTERIOR WHICH INTERIOR, HOWEVER, COMPRISES SUFFICIENT MACROPOROUS POLYMER SUPPORT STRUCTURE TO SUBSTANTIALLY ENHANCE THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH, PARTICULARLY THE RESISTANCE TO COMPRESSION, OF THE PARTICLES. THESE PARTICLES HAVE EXCELLENT UTILITY FOR ENCAPSULATING VARIOUS MATERIALS FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE
THEREFROM, FOR IMMOBILIZING SOME CHEMICAL REACTANTS WHILE ALLOWING FREE ACCESS AND EGRESS OF OTHER REACTANTS OR REACTION PRODUCTS FROM THE PARTICLE, AND FOR EFFECTING SEPARATIONS BSED ON DIFFUSION OF DIFFERENT-SIZE MOLECULES THERETHROUGH. THE VERSATILE PROCESS BY WHICH THESE PARTICLES ARE FORMED IS ALSO A SUBJECT OF THE INSTANT INVENTION.
摘要:
A NOVEL SEPARATIVE APPARATUS COMPRISING A SEPARATION ZONE WHEREBY (1) AN IMMOBILIZED LIQUID PHASE IS SEPARATED FROM A MOBILE LIQUID PHASE BY A SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE AND WHEREIN SAID MOBILE LIQUID PHASE IS A CARRIER LIQUID FOR A PLURALITY OF COMPOUNDS, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH COMPOUNDS INTERACTS, CHEMICALLY OR PHYSICALLY, WITH THE SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE AND/OR THE IMMOBILIZED LIQUID PHASE AND IS THEREBY RETARDED IN ITS PROGRESS THROUGH THE REACTION ZONE.
摘要:
A NEW PROCESS FOR FORMING TRANSPARENT AND ABRASIONRESISTANT ARTICLES OF HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE COMPRISING THE STEPS OF CARRYING OUT STEP-GROWTH POLYMERIZATION OF AN ALIPHATIC ISOCYANATE COMPOUND AND A HYDROXYACRYLATE COMPOUND WHILE CONCURRENTLY CARRYING OUT CHAIN-GROWTH POLYMERIZATION OF SAID HYDROXYACRYLATE COMPOUND. THE INVENTION ALSO RELATES TO NOVEL COMPOSITIONS OF MATTER FORMED BY THE AFORESAID PROCESS AND TO THE NOVEL TRANSPARENT ARTICLES FORMED THEREWITH.
